DEEP DOWN BENEATH THE BASEMENT- A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT FOR PURIM

Please note that we take no responsibility for the Halachic propriety, kashrut or sanity of the items listed

Brought to you by an anonymous guest editor

New Community - presale of homes. Join Neve Shushan, an expansive gated community, premises to be surrounded by a high landscaped wall. But don't worry, the shul president assures the residents that the Amalekites will pay for all wall-construction costs! Homes built to traditional royal standards, with plenty of room for parties and large servant's quarters. Big lots with covered two-horse garages. To avoid all future space problems, the community’s NEW shul is already being built.

Due to requests by our community to make our shul great again, several new minyanim are currently being formed:

Mixed (breed) minyan. For those with a strong commitment to and belief in dogs, a pet minyan will begin in the summer. Members are requested to keep barking to a minimum and all donations should be left outside in a specially marked receptacle for that purpose. 1. President: Duke N. 2. Social committee: Prince S., Frankie Y., and Guinness B. 3. PR and internet: Kelly E. and Bagel S. 4. Social action: Coco F. and Shlomi H. 5. Bone club: Buffy Z. and Fermi H.
Halachah and Dibbur (walk and talk) minyan. Perfect for those who find it difficult to keep quiet and still while in shul. Meet at the yeshiva gates, 7:30am, Shabbat morning. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water, hat, and a siddur with big print.
Early Early Shabbat Minyan. Join the gang that can’t get enough of a good thing. Kabbalat Shabbat 5:45pm Wednesdays.
Egalitarian minyan. Be part of an exclusive group! Membership is open only to those with names Yigal, Gal, Galit, Galia, Galbraith, or Galgalgalgalatz.

Other shul events:

New classes for Anaiim Zemirot. Open to anyone wishing to learn Anaiim Zemirot in American Sign Language. Practice will take place in the back of the shul until the shul membership has a chance to decide at next year’s AGM whether a different Sign Language would be more inclusive. All welcome to join.
AGM Concessions, tickets and media. In the spirit of the occasion, popcorn, drinks, Raisnets, Malted Milkballs, and CrackerJacks will be sold at the next AGM. This will likely be a sellout event, so please get your tickets in advance. They can be purchased, as can High Holiday seats, at 1-800-shul-tix. To avoid issues concerning ‘fake news’, all media will be banned from the AGM except the vetted journalists of the famed (and defunct) Rehovot Reporter.
Spouse dance club opening. Chez Vashti, is a private couples dance club, in a Halachically-inspired atmosphere. Classes in ‘it might lead to mixed dancing’ available. For info, call 08-22tango.
